Welcome from Daysi
This will be information about the person being featured and can also be a message from that pearson. On behalf of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and Doctors Hospital at Renaissance, I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to our new General Surgery Residency Website. Located in Edinburg, Texas, in the heart of the Rio Grande Valley, our General Surgery Residency provides an exciting and historical opportunity to be part of the development of not only a new General Surgery Residency Program but to contribute to and participate in the creation of a new medical school and birth of a new university. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a direct role in the establishment of institutions of higher education, medical education, and graduate medical education. This is a golden opportunity to “do good” on a regional, national, and international level.
Program Philosophy
Our philosophy and mission of general surgical education is to, above all, provide excellent, safe and evidence-based cutting-edge care to the people of South Texas. These new programs will bring long awaited medical and surgical care to an underserved region. This will be made possible by creating a learning environment where our residents will develop into outstanding general surgeons educated in the broad-base of general surgery. They will have exposure and participate in the full spectrum of surgical subspecialties including minimally invasive, bariatric, oncologic, pediatric, acute care, trauma, surgical critical care, vascular and endovascular, cardiothoracic, and plastic surgery, while completing a true general surgical training program.
During their rotations, the residents will work with experienced general surgeons in private practice, as well as work side-by-side with the Chairman of the Department and the Program Directors. Our mission is to produce Board eligible general surgeons who are excellent clinicians and surgical technicians capable and ready to enter the independent practice of general surgery in the community; or, if our residents choose to do subspecialty training, they will be competitive and capable of attaining nationally recognized fellowship training. For those residents who choose to pursue an academic career, they will be afforded the opportunity for research and to develop the foundations for an academic surgical career.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert Wright MD
